| (hollywoodreporter) She said her character on the sitcom "was molded by me, from me" and that the "values and principles" of the Kansas farm girl mirrored her own. Dawn Wells, the girl-next-door actress and former beauty queen who played the sweet Mary Ann Summers on the iconic CBS sitcom Gilligan's Island, died Wednesday morning. She was 82. Wells died in Los Angeles of causes related to COVID-19, her publicist announced. |

| #7 I always liked her over Ginger... Her character was the Hometown Sweet-Heart type that every 60s American Male wanted to marry. Ginger was what they wanted to date "once" to tell about. BTW: Met Bob Denver Gilligan at a Meet and Greet booth at a Computer show in the 90'S in Atlanta or LV. Don't remember if it (Comdex or N+I). Interesting guy and nothing like the TV persona. |

| #3 I guess that finally answers the age old question: "Ginger or Mary Ann?". (the answer of which is, or was, "Yes!") |
